17.2 to BL Mooney, Mooney walks past one and is stumped! Looking to drive on the up, she's just a couple of steps out of her ground but Jones' quicksilver glovework gives her no time to get back. She knows she's done, but she'll also know she's done her job here. 168/6
403929.75107020
3.3 to G Voll, given lbw! Voll chats to Mooney and reviews. Full, nipping in and hitting the back leg as she tries to whip square. No bat. Ball tracking says, hitting leg stump! Hitting the inside too. Mooney was fooled into maybe thinking it was sliding given she could see Voll's middle and off stumps but she was hit on the back leg. Voll is out and Australia lose a review. 40/1
19.2 to GM Harris, slower ball, swiped straight up! Bell sticks to her plans, making Harris try to target the leg side. She's through the shot early and it pops up for a straightforward catch at short third (although England haven't taken all of those tonight). 187/7
403819.5066000
13.5 to A Sutherland, Sutherlands comes down... and holes out! Safely held by Wyatt-Hodge in the deep. An attempted big hit from Sutherland but she ended up dragging it rather than playing straight. Wyatt-Hodge had a bit to do running in from deep midwicket but makes no mistake. 121/4

3040013.3334200
402626.50103010
12.4 to EA Perry, done in the flight! Perry made a brilliant attempt to get her foot back over the line - but was it enough? I don't think so. There's boot on whitewash but nothing in the crease. Fast feet but even faster hands from Jones, and England chip out another! A vital wicket given the momentum Australia have at this point. 114/3
16.4 to TM McGrath, bowled 'er! Ecclestone roars in delight as she ends a dangerous partnership just as the game was threatening to run away from England again. This time she targets the stumps with McGrath looking to go leg side. The ball dips, skips between the legs, and hits off stump. 166/5

0.2 to ME Bouchier, holes out to deep square! Length ball swinging into off, not that short, she sits back and pulls in the air forward of square, she hit it well but not far enough and picks out Wareham standing 10 metres off the rope! Wareham barely had to move. 0/1
2030115.0063300
1.1 to DN Wyatt, edged straight to slip! Great bowling and captaincy! Perfect outswinger, full, not quite a half volley, shaping away on a fifth stump line, Wyatt-Hodge lazily drives at it, gets a thick edge and Litchfield takes a good low catch at a wide first slip. 4/2
311424.66102000
4.1 to Nat Sciver-Brunt, bowled! Short leg break, pitching outside leg, NSB tries to pull but it keeps a touch low and goes under Sciver-Brunt's back, brushes the back leg and crashes into middle!. 48/3
10.1 to HC Knight, struck on the pads looking to reverse-sweep, not given - but Australia review. Definitely struck her in line, but was it sliding down leg? This could be very tight. Knight got a decent stride in, which might save her. Here comes ball-tracking: smashing into leg stump! No doubt about it according to Hawk-Eye. King does it again with the first ball after drinks!. 96/4
302016.6681100
15.6 to LK Bell, skied to the keeper, and Australia will retain the Ashes for another cycle! Sutherland wraps up the win, by a thumping margin of 57 runs. Another two points puts them 8-0 up, with eight to play for. England's hopes of regaining the Ashes for the first time in a decade extinguished. 141/10
302538.3384000
12.5 to AE Jones, scuttles through her! Jones plays back and the ball sneaks under the bat to hit leg stump halfway up. Jones looks aghast, it definitely stayed low but the shot choice didn't help her. Wareham takes out the last recognised batter in this England line-up and Australia are closing in. 116/6
14.2 to S Ecclestone, Ecclestone holes out! This time she can't manufacture the power required and it's a simple take for Sutherland at long-on. Ecclestone's riposte is brief, Australia now three wickets away from retaining the Ashes. 137/7
14.6 to CE Dean, top-edged and taken! Wareham hangs it up wide of off stump and Dean steps across, heaving across the line but without success. Mooney scampers around from behind the stumps into the off side for another easy take, and Australia tighten their grip. 139/8
201417.0031000
11.5 to SIR Dunkley, bowled 'er! Dunkley has to go, captain's intervention from McGrath and that could be the game - and the Ashes - for Australia. It was a loopy cutter that never quite got to Dunkley as she looked to heave it leg side, maybe stayed a touch low. Leg stump rattled, and England's best hope of pulling off this chase is chopped down. 110/5
